Roasted Carrots with Easy Thai Peanut Sauce

May 7, 2019 By Lane 7 Comments

Plant forward.

Although I’ve been hearing this everywhere, it took me awhile to figure out what exactly this meant! I mean it’s not necessarily vegetarian or vegan…

Finally, I realized it is as simple as making plants the star of the show. Now that is nutrition advice we should ALL get behind.

Let me show you one way to make it not only simple-but delicious as well! It’s so, so easy with these Roasted Carrots with Easy Thai Peanut Sauce. (and as I had just published a peanut sauce recipe a few weeks ago, these roasted carrots are quite timely-now you’ll have a great way to use that sauce!)

Friday Five: Tips and Tricks for Feeding Kids

March 1, 2019 By Lane 2 Comments

Feeding kids and getting them to eat healthy foods can be difficult. With a 16 year old and an 8 year old, I’ve had a lot of time to try and sort this out. I’ve even (by accident) performed the sociological experiment by the different ways I raised my own two kids in regards to food. Both turned out to be quite good eaters, however one was much easier than the other to get there. Read on while I share my Tips and Tricks for Feeding Kids.

Day 15 of the Whole 30! I’m still alive and even starting to enjoy it.

Turns out this clean eating thing can actually taste pretty darn good. Lean protein, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and this Apple Brussels Sprouts Salad.

Good Food Reads 5.2.17

June 2, 2017 By Lane 14 Comments

It has been a crazy busy week, as most of them are towards the end of the school year. My kids don’t have their last day of school until next week, but the past two weeks have been chock full of end of the year parties, teacher gifts, graduation festivities, end of the year orchestra concerts, dance recitals, and let’s not forget the never ending soccer games! When you put that on top of a full time work schedule, well…whew, I’m starting to get tuckered out! And I must admit my belly is growing very tired of all of the fast and fast casual food we’ve been eating (not to mention guilty) as we fly around from one activity from another. It’s time to reintroduce vegetables and clean eating to our diets. These salads we’ve found all over the internet will be a great way to start that process…and they are anything but boring! So keep reading for a Good Food Reads dedicated to salads!…
